Abstract

Variable cross-section roll forming is a new forming process developed on the basis of traditional constant cross-section roll forming. It can produce variable cross-section products flexibly and efficiently, which is of great significance to automobile lightweight. In this paper, the rolling forming process of automobile variable section longitudinal beam is simulated, the finite element model of roll and sheet metal is established in ABAQUS software, and the deformation and stress distribution of sheet metal in variable section rolling forming process are analyzed. It is concluded that the stress and plastic strain in the forming corner area are much higher than those in the web area and flange area, followed by the flange area, and finally the web area.
